Go walk a job site with a tradesman and youll see why imperial is so useful and natural to them. They walk off long distancrs, use knuckles for small ones and do complex division with ease.

  Because they have to since they're stuck using imperial. The imperial system does not make people better, it forces people to use fractions.

  My father lays tiles for a living and he always did the same in metric, if he didn’t had something to measure things with him (which any professional should!) A meter is basically a slightly longer step. I think most tradesmen over here got a pretty good sense how to walk a meter. 0.1m or 1dm or 10cm or 100mm is basically the width of your hand. 1cm or 10mm is roundabout the width of the pinky finger
